The Backwoods Trailcam

If moose didn't have enough already to try and deal with through our harsh winters, but the also have to deal with winter ticks! Look at the large tufts of fur missing from this one. Something about winter ticks Winter ticks feed on ungulate blood, particularly cervids. They mainly affect moose and to a lesser extent elk. They may be found on white-tailed deer, but their presence does not usually cause significant problems in this species. The impact of winter ticks on caribou in natural habitats remains little known. Winter ticks can be observed on other animal species (domestic or wild), but this parasite causes little damage to these other species. The winter tick can be found in tens of thousands on a single moose. It causes several problems such as: hair loss and appearance of wounds; blood loss; weight loss and poor physical condition; abnormal behaviour (confusion or presence outside of its natural habitat).

I know it is an older one, but figure would share more of the deer family doing deer stuff.

Well seems this camera is setup right on a rabbit run, but that isn't the only furry critter here. What do you think it is?

Well this in cam doesn't disappoint. I don't know many squirrels that love to be in the dark like the flying ones around here, what do you think?

Well this new cam location seems to be paying off, getting some new critters in view.

First song that came to mind while watching this one shack the snow off. Deer sure do live through alot of weather that I can only look at through the window.

Well We caught a bit of this guy we have nicknamed Marty the Magpie. I wonder what he is hiding in that spot as he went there on two different days?

Caught the Fam out for a midnight stroll. It is always amazing seen them up way past my bedtime.

Night capture on the new cam, think they spotted it.

At least that is what we think. Tons of deer in this one as the weather gets warmer.

Alright, tell me that isn't cute watching it run like that?

Well, I know there was a few tracks around so it was only a matter of time to find a Moose in front of the Camera. Moose are so COOL

Caught that fluffy one again on one of my older cameras with some of the rest of the family.

Well looks of this tells me they still are holding on strong to their antlers. no shed hunting yet.

Always cool to see what animals go through just to survive. Check out these ones during a recent blizzard!

Just some night time deer activity. Time knows no bounds for critters

Almost missed those tiny antlers.

Don't know why, but the trail cam only took 1-2 second video. Too bad because this herd would have been cool to find out it's true size!

Tell me they aren't cute when they have their winter coats! Too bad one fogged up the camera!

Camera was having issue this evening, but still caught a few different things. Pair of yotes is cool

Check out this herd including 2 decent bucks!

Here are some takes from a cold night out on the trail.

See what we caught on our trail cam

Just as the title says. Herd doing herd things

Just some trailcam footage
